CREDIT GRANTING POLICY/CHALLENGE CREDIT Students who have successfully completed academic courses and/or have relevant knowledge and/or skills acquired in other accredited institutions will be given advanced standing in the program. The standard transfer of credit procedure states that “An institution of higher learning accepts credits earned from another institution based on their own discretion”.
Transfer Credit The institution considers transfer of credit from other institutions accredited by an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE) or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). The admission department will evaluate previous education and training that may be applicable to an educational program. If the education and or/training meet the standards for transfer of credit, the program may be shortened, and the tuition reduced accordingly • 1. Students will be granted credit for related previous education completed. • 2. At the time of application, candidates must submit an Official Transcript of Records and/or copies of certificates of completion. Credit may be granted for courses successfully completed with a grade of “C” or better at another accredited post-secondary institution. The course and credit values should be comparable to those offered by HCC. • 3. Recognition of credits earned elsewhere is limited to 15% of the total hours required for completion of a program.
Challenged Credit Credit may be granted for relevant knowledge and/or skills acquired through prior experience, a course in a non- accredited institution, and individual study with a grade of “C” or better and should be equivalent to a course offered at HCC for which credit is being requested. Qualified candidates must file a petition for credit by examination for a course to be challenged, at least six weeks prior to the start of the course. The petition for advanced standing must be filed with the Program Director two (2) weeks prior to the start of the module/course, and all examination fees ($20) per module/ course challenged exam paid one (1) week prior to the examination date. Credit shall be determined by successful completion of a comprehensive examination and/or practical examination. Candidates will be given prior notice of the examination date. Objectives for both the written and/or practical examinations are made available to the student prior to the examination. Candidates denied challenge credit for a course, or a portion, thereof would be notified in writing of the reasons for denial. Candidates qualifying to challenge a course or portion thereof will be given the following information to assist in preparation for the examination: • Textbooks assigned for the course • Required reading lists • Study guides • Format of the examination • Objectives of the course

If the amount that you owe is more than the amount you have already paid, then you will have to make arrangements to pay for your remaining balance.
SECTION V–ACADEMIC POLICIES
ATTENDANCE POLICY Students must attend all scheduled classes and clinical rotations to achieve their program objectives. Student attendance is regularly documented through use of daily sign-in sheets on which students sign their full names (no initials) in blue or black ink. Students are expected to be in class on time, as repeated absences or patterns of coming late or leaving early will result in disciplinary action. Students are strongly advised to call the school to inform the instructor of an upcoming absence, if possible. Students who are chronically tardy and/or absent will be placed on attendance probation and may be dismissed. Absences that are made up before a module final exam will count toward a student’s cumulative percentage but will not count toward the module grade.
Minimum Standards For all programs, a student must attend classes a minimum of 80% overall to successfully complete the program. Students falling below 80% of attendance will be dropped from the program. No student may begin his/her externship if the overall cumulative attendance is not at least 80 percent. Additionally, a student must attend a minimum of 80% of each module to sit for the module final exam. A student must also attend more than half of the scheduled class days of each module or she/he will receive an automatic “F” grade requiring the module to be repeated during its next scheduled rotation. A student will receive an “Incomplete” if she/he attends more than half of a module but less than the minimum required to test on schedule. Any absences made up after missing half the module but before the scheduled test date will count toward only the student’s cumulative attendance percentage. These made-up absences will not excuse the student from an “F” or “Incomplete” or from repeating the module.
The following procedures will apply: • 1. (1) occurrence of Tardiness/early departure = a verbal warning from the instructor • 2. (3) occurrences of Tardiness/early departures = 1 unexcused absence plus a written warning.
A tardy is defined as arriving more than 15 minutes late for the class. An early departure is defined as leaving before a class session ends. Missed time for tardies and early departures in all programs/courses cannot be made up. Calculation of absences resulting from tardies/early departures count against both the student’s cumulative attendance percentage and the evaluation criteria for module final grades.
• 3. (2) or more unexcused absences = a Absence (Advisory) contract between student & instructor, and the student will be under attendance probation
• While under attendance probation, the students may not miss more than 10% of the scheduled class days of each module. • Once a student has violated the terms of attendance probation, the student will be immediately dismissed from the program. • If the student does not exceed the 10% rule during the course, the student will be removed from the attendance probation.
• 4. Absences for more than 20% of attendance for each module may result in suspension or dismissal from the (Excused and Unexcused absences) program.
Students who are absent from class lectures or clinical due to illness, death in the immediate family, jury duty, military annual training, and other emergency or other uncontrollable circumstances should contact the Instructor/Program Director and Student Services to arrange for make-up for missed classes and clinical. Students are expected to make-up for absences. Make-up opportunities are to be determined by the instructor. Making-up in the clinical site, the student will be required to pay the salary of the Instructor for the make-up day/days in the clinical setting.
A. Unexcused Absence THEORY. When lost hours occur, related to an unexcused absence, result in the inability of the student to meet the course objectives, the student is required to do a make-up work as deemed necessary by the instructor. The student should make every effort to contact the instructor for discussing the attainment of objectives missed, lecture contents missed, remediation, acceptable methods of make-up and tutorial assistance needed. CLINICAL. Only one absence is allowed for any and all every clinical rotation. Clinical hours lost due to absence must be made up by the student by time in a clinical site under Clinical Instructor supervision within two weeks before the end of the course. Student will be required to pay the salary of the Instructor for the
24 Rev.10/10/19
make-up day/days.
B. Excused Absence An absence is considered excused if it falls in any of the following categories: 1. Illness 2. Court hearing/Jury Duty 3. Bereavement 4. Military Annual Training 5. Emergencies or uncontrollable circumstances. Student must show written proof of the reason for absence upon returning from absence. Other situations may be considered excused by the Program Director after careful evaluation of each occurrence. Nevertheless, even if absences are excused the students are not exempted in making up hours lost due to excused absences.
C. Tardiness Theory. Students arriving 15 minutes late for a class lecture will be considered tardy. A verbal warning will be given to each student who is tardy. Three (3) occurrences of tardiness in lecture will be considered one (1) day unexcused absence. A written warning from the instructor will be given to the student and the absence will be counted in relation to allowable total absences. Students arriving late for class and after break period will be admitted in class only after a designated break time. Students will be responsible for missed lecture/activity. Examination. Students arriving late during an examination will be admitted and allowed to take and complete the examination within the remaining time allotted. Clinical. Students arriving 30 minutes late for clinical assignments will not be accepted in the clinical area and will be marked absent for the day.
Attendance Make-up: Absences that are made up before a module final exam will count as a day present toward the student’s cumulative percentage but will not count toward the module grade. If not made up prior to the module exam, absences must be made up no later than 3 calendar days from the module end date; otherwise, the absence (s) will be permanent on the student’s attendance record.
Clinical Orientation Policy All students must be oriented to the clinical site before commencing a clinical assignment. The clinical orientation will be provided by the instructor or an assigned clinical staff member.
A. Clinical Supervision A pre-conference and post-conference should be conducted by the clinical instructor. The instructor should always be available for the students in the clinical setting. Students will be supervised in the clinical classes or training by an instructor or a preceptor.
B. Clinical Instructor Tardiness and/or Absence If an instructor has not notified students of tardiness or absence, the students are required to remain at the clinical site for 30 minutes if no other instructions have been given. If 30 minutes has transpired and the clinical instructor is still unavailable, a previously assigned student will notify the Program Director to receive further instructions. Students may be required to return to the school to meet the clinical objectives for that day.
C. Limitation of Student Activity in Clinical Area • Students may not leave assigned clinical sites without permission from the instructor. • Students are not to take care of patients not assigned to them, except in an emergency. • Students are not allowed to perform any procedures without the supervision or clearance of the instructor. • Students must be in attendance during pre-conference and post conference. Should a student violate any of these clinical limitation policies, the student will be sent home for the day and will not be given credit for those hours. Further disciplinary actions may be taken.

GRADING SYSTEM
Healthcare Career Center uses the following scale as its standard grading system.
LETTER PERCENT DESCRIPTION NUMERIC A 90-100 EXCELLENT 4.0 B 80-89 GOOD 3.0 C 70-79 AVERAGE 2.0 F 0-69 FAIL 1.0 P n/a PASS 0 I n/a INCOMPLETE 0 W n/a WITHDRAW 0
• For clinic/lab training (extern) or supervised practicum, student performance is graded by the program director or school director via the extern site’s assessment ratings of student performance indicated on the skills evaluation form.
• Minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA is required (equivalent to70% on a 100% grading scale). A grade of “C” for a module or quiz is considered a passing grade for these programs.
• Final module grades are determined by total points received resulting from a weighted application of grading criteria, i.e., module exam (60%), quizzes/assignments/lab skills (30%) and attendance (10%). For example, a module test score of 80% is multiplied by 60% (resulting in 48 value points). This score is added to the resulting score for the other two grading criteria to determine a student’s overall module grade. If a student fails, the final exam for any given module in any program she/he will receive a failing grade of the module regardless whether the calculation of other grading criteria would have resulted in a passing grade.
• Students who failed a course will undergo Make-up (see Make-up Policy).
MAKE-UP
This policy applies to making up module exams in all programs, as well as missed exams. The policy also applies to specific time frames for making up absences in all programs/courses. Students are strongly advised not to miss class unless necessary, as make-up work cannot fully replace direct instruction and classroom participation. To sit for a module final exam for full credit, all required absences must be made up no later than the day before the exam. Therefore, students should make every effort to request a make-up log for time or assignment(s) as soon as possible. Missed quizzes cannot be made up; in such cases, a zero point value will be applied to the grading criteria. In most instances, missed time will be made up by assignment, as a student cannot make up attendance by sitting in another class or module.
If class is missed, it is the student’s responsibility to acquire any assignments issued. Any work assigned during a module (e.g., homework, projects, etc.) that is not completed and submitted to the instructor by the due date will be recorded as a zero and calculated accordingly in the student’s final grade for the module. To make-up scheduled class hours by time or assignment, the student must submit the Petition Request form to Student Services for a make- up log.
Attendance Make-up: Absences that are made up before a module final exam will count as a day present toward the student’s cumulative percentage but will not count toward the module grade. If not made up prior to
26 Rev.10/10/19
the module exam, absences must be made up no later than 7 calendar days from the module end date; otherwise, the absence (s) will be permanent on the student’s attendance record.
Module Exam Make-up: If a missed module exam is not made up with in the established time frame for a program, the student will receive an “F” grade and will have to repeat the entire module when offered again. The highest numerical score applied to a make-up exam is 75%, regardless whether the actual score attained is higher. This score will be calculated with other grading elements to determine the overall final grade for the module. Students must consult directly with the instructor or program director to schedule and sit for a make-up test. The exam will be administered outside the student’s normal class schedule.
Make-up Timeframes: Module exams must be made up within one week of the exam date. Failure to take the make-up module exam within these stated time frames will result in an automatic “F” for the module, and the student will have to repeat the module in its entirety.
COURSE REPETITIONS
A student must repeat(retake) any failed module to attain a passing grade. Grades earned for repeated modules will replace the original grade in determining academic progress and GPA; however, all module final grades will be on the student’s transcript. A student cannot repeat a module she/he passed to obtain a higher grade. There are limits as to how many times a student can repeat a module. Only one make-up examination is allowed per module. To repeat a failed module during the next available offering, students in all programs must submit the Petition Request form to Student Services. If the request is not voided before the module start date, the student will be obligated to the schedule and tracked accordingly for attendance and academic purposes.
Course Incompletes: A grade of “I” cannot be given as a final grade. The student must complete the required class work, assignments, and exams within one (1) week of the original completion date, with the instructor's approval. If the requirements are not completed by the end of the one-week period, the student’s course grade will be a “F” (failed) for the course and will be required to repeat the course.
Course Withdrawals: Individual courses dropped by the student after the seventh business day gets a grade of “W” and will not be included in the computation of GPA. If the course is withdrawn after the prescribed dropping period, which is the at end of the 7th business day, the student’s module/course grade will be a “F” and will be counted as hours attempted but not completed and will be included in the computation of the GPA as 0.0.
Transfer, Prior Learning, and Work Experience Credit (Non-Punitive Grades) Transfer (TR) credits, prior learning (PL) credits, and work experience (WE) credits do not count toward credits attempted or credits completed, and are not factored into the CGPA. However, these credits are subtracted from the program length when determining the maximum time frame. For example, if a student enrolls in a program with 100 credits and transfers in 20 credits, there are 80 credits remaining. The student’s maximum time frame for the remaining 80 credits is therefore 80 x 1.5 = 120 credits. The NA and HHA programs are non-credit courses. The school does not offer remedial courses. A student demonstrates Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) by achieving a minimum Grade Point Average (G.P.A) of 2.0 (70%) and must maintain satisfactory attendance (See Attendance Policy). To graduate, the student must complete the training program within a period which cannot exceed the maximum time frame (150% of the program length). If the student is not achieving SAP at the given evaluation points, the student will be placed on academic probation.
STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS All enrolled students HCC must meet the minimum standards of academic achievement and successful course completion. The student’s progress will be evaluated at specific evaluation points based on the Maximum Time
Frame for each program. HCC shall utilize every means possible for students to achieve their academic goals and complete their programs of interest.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY A. Maximum Time Frame The Maximum Time Frame (MTF) of a program is the maximum amount of time given to a student to complete the program of interest. This is computed as one-half times (1.5) of the program length. Hence, the MTF for the programs at HCC varies. The MTF for each program is given below:
PROGRAM NORMAL PROGRAM MAXIMUM TIME LENGTH FRAME Nursing Assistant (NA) 160 clock hours 240 clock hours Home Health Aid (HHA) 40 clock hours 60 clock hours Medical Assistant (MA) 720 clock hours 1,080 clock hours
Periods of approved Leave of Absence (LOA) and periods of non-enrollment after voluntary or involuntary withdrawal do not count as time elapsed toward the maximum time. It is by the student’s movement along the MTF (completion of requirements at certain evaluation points) of his/her specific program of interest that his/her academic progress will be determined.
Compliance with the MTF: Students not completing their modules within the maximum time frame are not considered to be making satisfactory academic progress toward their certificate or diploma and may be dismissed from the program.
B. Evaluation Points, Standards and Requirements A. Evaluation Points of Non-Credit Courses the NA and HHA programs are non-credit courses. This means there are NO CREDITS awarded to students upon completion of the program.

INSTRUCTIONAL FACILITY HCC Geographic Description: There are physician/chiropractor offices, veterinarian and healthcare facilities that offer skilled and semi-skilled nursing and allied health services within Norwalk and the surrounding cities. Figures from the Department of Labor show that there is a critical shortage for nursing and various allied health professionals necessary to give adequate and urgent care to patients. The health care facilities to fill the gap of this shortage had resorted to using inadequately trained personnel in both acute and sub-acute in adult and pediatric long-term care facilities. The establishment of hospices because of cost saving programs of HMO’s and insurance companies also gave rise to the increased demand for healthcare givers for acute and sub-acute skills. There was also a rise in home-health agencies and rehabilitation facilities adding to the demand for healthcare givers as well. It is because of these concerns why Healthcare Career Center was established. HEALTHCARE CAREER CENTER (HCC) is a privately-owned institution which aims to offer more comprehensive programs in allied health care services. The school is located within a diverse community composed of minority groups in the south Los Angeles County and Northern Orange County areas.
